And let us now to Worcester.” Then of one

He spake, well-honoured for good service done

Linking our Liturgies unto the past.

“Hearty he is, and earnest; though not meet

Throughout to understand and sympathise,

Yet in his line will lend us his good aid,

Though looking for external front, and powers,

More than on principles which we are bent

To scatter broad and deep. Let’s now to him.”
